The posting

A growing visitor attraction in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent is looking for an experienced Operations Manager to take full ownership of the day-to-day running of the park and play a key role in shaping how the business develops as it continues to grow.

This is a highly visible, hands-on role where you will manage teams, resolve issues, and maintain high standards across the visitor experience, while overseeing front-of-house operations, leading and developing a large diverse team, collaborating closely with other departments, and driving performance against key KPIs.

As the Operations Manager, your key responsibilities will be:

  • Take full ownership of the day-to-day operations, ensuring all areas are fully staffed, open, and operating to a high standard.
  • Lead and manage a front-of-house team of approximately 40 staff across catering and guest services.
  • Work closely with Operations Supervisors to develop team structure, performance, and capability.
  • Collaborate effectively with the Animal Manager and wider teams to ensure smooth park operations across all departments.
  • Maintain consistently high standards of guest experience, safety, and service delivery.
  • Manage and resolve operational issues quickly and effectively to minimise disruption.
  • Plan for seasonal peaks, busy periods, and events to ensure full operational readiness.
  • Take ownership of key KPIs including guest satisfaction, complaint resolution, staff retention, health and safety compliance, operational efficiency, and revenue performance.
  • Provide clear daily and weekly reporting to senior management, highlighting risks, performance, and improvements.
  • Drive continuous improvement across all areas of park operations.

The Operations Manager will have the following skills and attributes:

  • Proven experience in an operations management role within a visitor attraction, leisure, hospitality, or retail environment.
  • Strong track record of leading large, multi-functional teams through managers or supervisors.
  • Demonstrated ability to deliver consistently against KPIs, including guest experience and operational performance.
  • Experience managing high-volume trading periods, seasonal demand, and live events.
  • Strong understanding of health and safety compliance and best practice.
  • Experience with budgets, cost control, and commercial reporting.
  • Excellent leadership and people management skills, with the ability to motivate and develop teams.

This is a full-time, permanent position requiring flexibility to work a varied schedule based on the operational needs of the business. Working hours will include weekends, bank holidays, peak trading periods, seasonal events and other times of increased visitor demand.

The role offers competitive pay up to £60,000 depending on experience, along with the opportunity to take real ownership of park operations and progress into a senior leadership position as the business grows.

Appointment will be subject to DBS clearance, right to work checks and satisfactory references.

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
